@felwert @rasmus91 @dkz2r @thecarpentries This is understanable and I’d say it always depends on what you want to achieve. For a lightweight "just writing some text" I prefer always(!) #Emacs with #org-mode . But in my PhD thesis (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2548872) I did things I was only capable of doing using #TeXLaTeX - it is always a trade of.

I dont know any other tool that would be able to create such data-driven visualizations:

After having enough of their desktop app not working, I can now control my #elgato keylight through some #org restclient HTTP calls.

Lights on via cURL wasn't my initial plan for the day, but I'm happy with it.

Sorting completion candidates, such as sorting Org headings by level :: Sacha Chua

I've been trying to use #org-mode and #emacs-jupyter as a replacement for Jupyter notebooks in a #Bioinformatics course I'm teaching. After having to manually force org-mode to update inline images a handful of times I did this in anger: https://github.com/pjones/org-inline-image-mode

Calculating RAGBRAI training actual vs. planned mileage

I’m training to ride RAGBRAI LIII in Iowa in July 2026. RAGBRAI provides a training plan which, if followed, helps riders get ready for the ride.

Dave’s Blog

I was looking for my personal knowledge management system. How can I store documents, how can I interconnect them, how can I build something that I can use on Mac/Linux/Win - and that stores data locally. Easy to read, no magic, just plain text (references can be everything). In the end - I ended with #emacs #orgmode with the addition of small helpers like #org-attach (builtin). The knowledge articles are stored in #org-roam, org-attach stores the data in org-roam-directory/data using IDs. If I store a document I create a reference node that has the attachment in it - from there I crosslink to my org notes. Simple, no fuzz. Just Emacs and some lousy config lines. Did I mention, that I blog from there as well? The blog posts for my blog (https://node01.de) are nodes inside org-roam, that will be published using ox-hugo to a 2nd repo and are published statically to a webserver.

Thanks #emacs, thanks #hugo

Every day which i either use org-mode or watch videos/bloh posts about it, my brain explodes how much cool stuff is provided or waiting to be integrated.

Sad that i suck at lisp languages. I mean in theory i get them, but my brain does not like it, so reading it is slow for me.
